Do What you can to stay focused
But sometimes losing focus and picking something else up is fun.
But I stay focused now because I am not liquid so when I buy recently sadly I have had to sell cards to get cards.
Often times when I got distracted from my collecting focus
1. I have missed out on cards that came up that I wanted because I could not raise funds or sell something fast enough
2. I have broke even or lost money on cards that were not part of my focus.
3. I have regretted the item because while initially excited by the card that was not part of my focus when I got it. Once the initial period past I had buyers remorse with it
But even with my focus I have also had regrets (like may do) of getting rid of cards that I got attached to in order to upgrade or refocus my collection and many of which were low population or oddites that I may never get a chance to get back
But all part of the joy and life cycle of being a collector
